Mercedes-Benz is undoubtedly one of the world’s leading car manufacturers. Not only do they make exceptional quality cars, but they also sell a lot of these high quality cars. And, of course, in order to sell so many, they would need to produce many.

2013 seemed to have been somewhat of a Golden Year for the German car company. According to them, 2013 saw Mercedes-Benz breaking their all-time record by manufacturing a whopping 1.49 million cars in 2013. That is definitely not a number to joke about.

While their not sure yet as to the amount of cars actually sold, a spokesperson for Mercedes said that they expect it to be upwards of 1.4 million.

The great number in manufacturing and sales is thanks to a number of important model introductions.

Firstly, the CLA-CS was a triumph, especially in the US. Another model that received an update this past year and also proved to be popular was the updated E-Class.

It was Mercedes’ newest baby, the all new S-Class that not only caught the attention of car critics worldwide, but also buyers. The S-Class definitely proved its worth and popularity by winning over people worldwide.

The S-Class is being churned out like butter; Mercedes said that 460 S-Class vehicles are being produced per day!

If 2013 is anything to go by, we can just imagine what 2014 will be like for Mercedes-Benz. Also on the horizon for 2014, is the 2015 C-Class and the 2015 GLA-Class that will be placed on the market later this year.

The company also plans on expanding various manufacturing plants this year in Brazil, Alabama and Germany.
